State reopening guidance impacts City facilities and services

The City of Lenexa is following the guidelines of Kansas Governor Laura Kelly’s Ad Astra: A Plan to Reopen Kansas, which is strongly recommended by Johnson County. Lenexa Parks & Recreation will reopen facilities and resume some programs and events in limited capacities starting June 1, at the earliest.

To reduce the spread of COVID-19 and consistent with county and state orders limiting gatherings of individuals to 10 persons or less, the meetings of the Lenexa Parks and Recreation Advisory Board will be conducted remotely using Zoom, an online meeting tool. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members and city staff will all participate in the meeting remotely. Members of the public may attend meetings virtually using the link and/or phone dial-in information provided in the Meetings Calendar section of the City’s website as well as on the specific meeting agenda itself.

During this time of health emergency, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board will be prudent with the meeting time and consideration of agenda items. As always, public comment on any agenda items can be submitted in advance. Public comments will be taken up to 5 p.m. on the day of the meeting and will be distributed to all members before the meeting. If a member of the public wishes to submit advance comment for an item, please email cdoleshal@lenexa.com and reference the meeting date and agenda item on which you wish to comment. Please also include your name and address for the public record.

The Parks & Recreation Advisory Board guides staff decisions regarding parks and recreation. They make recommendations to the Lenexa City Council concerning items such as park development and improvements, programs and events, and recreation facilities.
